5 Tips To Protect Your Hair This Winter
Dry, dull and damaged hair is usually associated to the summer months but the winter season is just as bad. Due to the dropping temperatures and simultaneous blast of indoor heating, you may notice your skin, scalp and hair become increasingly dry and brittle. Discover our top tips below on how you can protect your hair this winter, and take advantage of our New Year Sale where you can enjoy up to 50% off all your favourite hair products.
1. Invest In A Great Shampoo & Conditioner
We recommend using Olaplex No.4C Clarifying shampoo once every other week and using a hydrating shampoo the rest of the time. Olaplex No.4C Clarifying Shampoo strips out any build up caused by pollution, dirt and products whilst gently cleansing the scalp to allow the hair follicles to grow through more effectively. Your moisturising shampoo and conditioner ensures your hair is filled with all of the nourishment it needs for beautifully conditioned hair.

2. Wash Your Hair Less
Believe it or not, washing your hair too often can lead to dryness. We recommend shampooing your hair 2-3 times per week at the most, and giving yourself 2 shampoos. The first shampoo removes dirt, grease and product build up, whilst the second shampoo cleanses the hair. If you are washing your hair daily or every other day, invest into buying a great dry shampoo that can save you time on those dreaded hair wash days, but can also add texture and volume to greasier locks.

3. Use A Moisturising Mask
If your hair is dry, weak or coloured then add a weekly moisturising mask to your regime once or twice a week to rejuvenate your hair. For those with thicker hair types, aim to use a mask that is deeply hydrating and apply to towel dried hair on your mid-lengths and ends, with the residue placed onto the root area. For finer hair, it's still important to use a moisture mask but one that's formulated with ingredients that won't weigh your hair down. Avoid placing any product onto the root of your hair and try not to leave it on for longer than 5-10 minutes.

4. A Healthy Scalp = Healthy Hair
The first step to gorgeous looking hair starts with a healthy scalp. The scalp skin needs as much tlc as the skin on our face and body and during the colder months our skin is prone to dryness and flakiness. Nioxin is a great solution to combatting a dry and sensitive scalp that will eradicate sensitivity and clogged hair follicles, allowing each strand to grow through quicker, thicker and fuller.
